A Coney Island of the Mind: Poems (New Directions Paperback No. 74) by Lawrence Ferlinghetti
One of my favorite books of all time. I don't think any other book had such an effect on me when I was young - except perhaps Lorca's Gypsy Ballads which I could only read in translation. It truly blew my mind and let me see the world from a new perspective. It showed me the possibilities of language.
